Check out @cutlaps ride the new feature! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHyydoewqJ1jnpY

[@cutlaps]

I don't thnk it could have turned out any better!

[@667SatansNeighbor]

That section should be called the "Coil", because it lines up with a snake... It's called "Snake Run", right?... Then that new section should be called the "Snake Coil". Just saying.

[@mikek9297]

@@667SatansNeighbor Or a "Slingshot", cause it uses centrifugal force to launch a rider like a projectile...

[@cutlaps]

Very cool! Thanks for the opportunity to show off my trail! I have a lot of fun out there building and riding it. 🤟

[@bikesonline]

Anytime!!! Keen to one day get down there and see the epicness in person!

[@cutlaps]

@@bikesonline For sure!

[@Jusdin057]

Yes Luke. Great work mate. I am so glad you didnt ride the corkscrew but a little sad also. 🤙 I cannot wait to see it unveiled on your channel. And you looked pretty good riding that Marin.

[@cutlaps]

@@Jusdin057 thanks mate! I was actually planning on riding the corkscrew (or what ever it ends up being called) for this video because I had planned for the build edit to be finished long before this one. But rain has sadly delayed. I have since given it a test ride and I gotta say it is awesome!!! And yeah I am really loving the Marin. I feel a bit better on jumps. I think it's a bit shorter than my Norco so I get a better pop. I haven't taken it down any chunky stuff though. If it ever stops raining I'll get it out into some rock gardens.

[@mattspen]

@@cutlaps sounds like you need a (optional?) rock garden line on your trail

[@JohnEFly]

This video is incredible! The production quality of it is off the charts! It's extremely interesting. I love how you are able to show how you take advantage of these trees that have fallen in nature to make them fun while also helping to clean up. You're not destroying the forest, you're just maintaining and beautifying it, while also having fun. Awesome work!

[@cutlaps]

Thanks John! I'm really stoked you found it so interesting. It's so nice to be able to spend my free time out in the forest getting creative. And we have plenty of large trees that have fallen over and need to be cleaned up, so you can expect even more fun wooden features in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@chris.s1678]

My favourite bit is all the natural features and resources being repurposed rather than just completely trashed and throw away. Such a cool build, been awesome watching it all come together.

[@cutlaps]

Cheers Chris! We have had some really wet weather and strong winds lately which has brought down some big trees. It feels good to be able to give them new life as a MTB feature. Thanks for watching.

[@bikesonline]

Thanks for showing us your trails Luke! We thing the eddy or dust devil for the new feature!

[@cutlaps]

Cheers guys! I like the Dust Devil but its more muddy than dusty with all this rain at the moment! 😂

[@michaelharwood5280]

Insane! I don't know what I love more: riding this trial or watching your vids. Both are incredible!

[@cutlaps]

So good riding and building the trail with you. Need to get you back when it's not raining.

[@lukegillespie8324]

Sensational Luke, how good to see it from top to bottom 🤙The Supreme backyard trail. Amazing the skill, design & effort you have put in mate. Massive Kudos 👋👋👋 Congrats, you should be so stoked 🤟

[@cutlaps]

Thanks Luke! I am extremely stoked. And I can't wait to do another top to bottom video in a few months when the full trail is finished. I have some big plans for that bottom section. Thanks for watching!

[@DARRENTRANCE]

What an epic back yrd 👌. Done an awesome job building it up with the features you added and done a tastefully job of it.

[@austrailalanmtb7557]

Pretty sick trail mate! Such a good spot. Plenty of area and angle.

[@-southern_dh_mtb-5840]

This is awesome! 🤙 It’s crazy how they come up with these cool creations.

[@cutlaps]

Cheers for watching. I guess I'm a little bit obsessed and building trail features is all I can think about now haha.

[@traviswright456]

You did an awesome job man. This trail looks sick. Keep up the good work bro. Cheers 🍻

[@lars_atx]

Awesome trail. great features and looks like great flow.

[@marcloeliger7000]

looks great champ well done! giving me some inspiration for my own trails - thanks legend!

[@cutlaps]

Very cool! If you have any photos or videos of your trail send them my way. I would love to see them.

[@paddydoddy7398]

Twisted sister! Is the perfect name dude, awesome video, super naturally talented bloke you are!

[@cutlaps]

Thanks mate! I love the name. It just reminded me that I haven't listened to Twisted Sister for ages. Cranking them on Spotify now.

[@LivePastHealthy]

Wow amazing work, we need more people like you out there.

[@bikesonline]

Agree with that sentiment! 🤙

[@tanopol5886]

Such a sick trail! Ive been following cutlaps for quite some time now and I think this is one of the few backyard trails that I too would want too and be able too ride!

[@cutlaps]

Yes!!!! Thank you. Yeah I think my backyard trail is a bit different to the others on KZbin because of the amount of space I have to work with. I can have a much longer trail with some really nice flow and a variety of features. Thanks for all your support.

[@DirtEaterrr]

I love you cutlaps. I’ve watched you for months and every time you uploaded a video I would go watch it in any situation I was in!

[@bobsinger3377]

Nice job! Inspirational!

[@Henri688]

Really cool! it looks absolutely insane I got inspiration to start building a mtb track after riding my schools one.

[@Behine.DeChilis]

Great segment. I remember racing the bump a couple n grind in the late '90s, floating this section these, only two flat in the following downhill section. There was a loose piece of that shale rock that punctured my front tire. Humbling to make it through blood rock well only to be taken out by a flat, straight section. Great trails!

[@bikesonline]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@yoelrey]

Dude!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

[@mtb_australia]

Wow!!!! This video and trail is incredbile.

[@TWLBJ]

Awesome work Luke, you've come along way. Well done on the collab with bikes online 👍

[@cutlaps]

Yeiwww thanks buddy. I was pretty stoked with this one.

[@cadman9615]

My lord that is frickin awesome!! Mad trail building skillzz too. Would love to have a trail like this in my back yd…but it’s pretty flat here. Good work can’t wait to see it all finished & ride the curley q jump. Great videography too. The mix of 1st & 3rd person is really immersive

[@cutlaps]

Thanks mate! I'm nearly finished the next video riding the curley Q. It's been a big build slowed by rain but it's finally nearly done. And I'm excited to share it! And I'm glad you like the mix of 1st and 3rd person filming. It takes a lot of time to film like that so it's great to hear it's immersive.

[@GreenpeaThe_Rat]

11:05 360 death fall/trust fall, since new people might look at that and be like ‘nah mate’ +me😂

[@samhartfieldlewis5247]

Amazing that is your trail. Your new feature maybe call it the (VOLSHOOT) A volute is a shape that can in natural a lot in ferns all sorts, but also inside pumps that’s the pattern. Also old buildings is something come across a lot (I do masonry). Soon as saw your feature thought that. Nice one go steady Sam

[@Riley-ho8ee]

awesome vid i was here for allll of it. i like your corkscrew name idea

[@gmbh24]

That looks amazing mate!! When i see the amount of space youve got my mind is going from left to right with ideas to build. Keep up the good work ✊🏻 greetingz from Holland!!

[@evokrazy]

This trail is awesome bro. A job well done 💯💯💯

[@joecasalena8263]

Super video! I’ve been building trails on my 110 acres here in Pa for a few years here. I did this same thing here with chicken ramps/bridges… but I’m not allowed to remove them because some of my some of friends never can clear the gap! Hoping to build a pump track but I need to find out the optimal geometry. That 270 berm is so creative!

[@cutlaps]

Hey Joe! Thanks for watching. Sounds like you have a pretty fun backyard as well. I build my chicken bridges so they can easily be removed without any screws. So depending on who's riding the trail its easy to put them back in place. A pump track would be cool! I owuldn't mind building one as well. And you're right there is very specific geometry needed to make them work well. I have seen some pretty useful guides to building optimal rollers on google.

[@AmnesiaA333]

Nice job and nice video bro !

[@TheStryder400]

Love it - well done

[@cutlaps]

Thanks Stuart! It's been a lot of fun out there and still nowhere near finished.

[@adamkennedy1635]

one word awesome matey

[@davidfarabaugh8181]

Awesome trail! Thanks for sharing. Call the new feature, “Snake Bowl”.

[@alexhedquist]

That last feature is a “Kreisel” {cry-sel} German for gyro. It is the name of a turn found on some bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton tracks around the world. It is a single continuous curve which turns far enough around that the track must go under itself on the exit of the curve.

[@we.trippin]

Maaate what an absolutely outstanding trail... you are trail talented... if I had land you would be my first call.. well done mate.. absolutely love it

[@cutlaps]

Dude that is awesome to hear! Thank you. Stoked you enjoyed my video and trail. Still a lot more to build and plenty of room for more trails.

[@robertmoore119]

That trail is awesome! It is just the right level of practicing skills, and not too difficult. That looks like fun to ride.

[@blu2thdude247]

This is an awesome vid! Showing how to make it and then you ride it! So creative how you use the natural line of the terrain to make into features! Great job! Subbed! I’ll be back to watch you ride the corkscrew or rattler or whatever you end up calling it!🤙

[@cutlaps]

Awesome! Really glad you liked it. It's a lot of fun working with the landscape. Bushwalks became a lot more interesting because I can't stop imagining different features I would build haha. Hopefully the corkscrew video isn't too long away. It takes a long time to edit. Thanks for watching!

[@squishedgrape]

Just found this guys channel earlier this week he's rad, love the insight as someone new to the Australian trail building industry.

[@cutlaps]

Oh yeah like one of those fair ground rides that you stick to the wall!

[@roguemonkeyproductions1098]

With the trail being called Snake Run, your new feature needs to be called "The Coil". Or "Ready to Strike".

Oh true! It does look like a snake curled up ready to strike. I'll add them to the list to choose from. Thank you

Epic brother! this video is super fun to watch. Gets me pumped for a first ride down there. Also Theodorus suggestion for your final feature - bit of some ancient nerdy construction yarn, but fits in with the fact you're building trails ! 😍

[@cutlaps]

Ooooh I just had to have a google of Theodorus and lots of images of his spiral came up that looks just like this! He could have been a great trail builder if mountain bikes had been invented haha.

[@mattspen]

Wow the “Spiral of Theodorus” is a fitting shape, makes me think “Spiral of Theodropus”

[@mattspen]

Gives me an idea what if you took nature art like Andy Goldsworthy stuff and applied it to trail builds similar to Backyard Trail Builds does, might be some kind of mashup idea there. (Especially given Luke is a great artist)
